| stabbymctwist | ramzay tripped the english only alarm | 00:02 |
| stabbymctwist | yeah | 00:02 |
| ramzay | shure | 00:02 |
| stabbymctwist | ubotu is a bot | 00:02 |
| ubotu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. | 00:02 |
| stabbymctwist | see? | 00:02 |
| stabbymctwist | it replies instantly | 00:03 |
| stabbymctwist | ubotu is a bot | 00:03 |
| pat5star | joh6nn: I get your point. It's just that I don't think it's that big a threat. I personally don't know anyone who uses yahoo or msn search...everyone I see use a computer goes first to google, I mean the word google is synonimous with search nowadays anyways | 00:03 |

| joh6nn | pat5star: every install of IE7 comes with MS preselected as the default search engine, and lots of software comes bundled with the Yahoo toolbar. so it does make a difference | 00:03 |
| [ka]killer | 1. why use ie 2. yahoo toolbar fails at life | 00:04 |
| ramzay | What time in your city now ? | 00:04 |
| flipstar | haha this bot is talking with himself | 00:04 |
| [ka]killer | xD i think the bot needs help | 00:04 |
| stabbymctwist | nice | 00:04 |
| [ka]killer | it has multiple personalities | 00:04 |
| stabbymctwist | there's an interesting study | 00:05 |
| joh6nn | [ka]killer: the yahoo toolbar does indeed fail at life, but it's hard to avoid; where i live, most of the local ISPs are bundling yahoo utilities with their connection services | 00:05 |
| joh6nn | and while i agree that IE is a crap browser, 60 some odd percent of the world still uses it. | 00:06 |
| pat5star | joh6nn: good point. I've just been such a google fan for so long, and see that so many others are, that it just seems to me there isn't anything ms can do to catch up...but they do have the money to try and purchasing yahoo is probably a step in the right direction if there is one | 00:06 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about preload - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:06 |
| Kaevik | joh6nn: installing the crap from your ISP is worse then using a toolbar extention. | 00:06 |
| ramzay | programmer ,who has written this bot is invalid | 00:06 |
| pat5star | !java | 00:06 |
| ubotu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. | 00:06 |
| [ka]killer | joh6nn, i dont know about your isp but i just go direct to the internet and use none of the software they gave me what so ever | 00:07 |
| pat5star | sry all, never interacted with a bot before, just playing around...won't do it anymore :) | 00:07 |

| [ka]killer | lol | 00:07 |
| joh6nn | [ka]killer: all of my isp's software is windows only, so it's a non-issue for me; it didn't run in Wine | 00:08 |

| joh6nn | when i got this laptop, i turned it on first, just to see what Vista looked like. | 00:08 |
| pat5star | [ka]killer: anyone somewhat tech savy knows not to, but I spend so much time helping friends family fix their computers and am amazed at how they all believe that bundled crap is essential | 00:08 |
| [ka]killer | xD | 00:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | makes it easier to avoid the bundled junk | 00:08 |
| pat5star | flipstar: ok thx, I'll check that out | 00:09 |
| joh6nn | but i had it formatted pretty quickly; Vista is crap | 00:09 |
| [ka]killer | that it si | 00:09 |
| [ka]killer | is* | 00:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i usually take that one further and build my pcs myself :) | 00:09 |
| stabbymctwist | i haven't had a new pc, ever | 00:09 |
| [ka]killer | Daisuke_Ido, cant really build a laptop yourself =P | 00:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | this is true | 00:09 |
| joh6nn | stabbymctwist: still in school? | 00:09 |
| stabbymctwist | my stuff is build out of trash from other people | 00:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it would look interesting in you tried | 00:09 |

| joh6nn | [ka]killer: www.system76.com | 00:10 |
| joh6nn | buy a cheap server with linux already installed | 00:10 |
| pat5star | stabbymctwist: me too, I've got a ton of spare computers/parts lying around from people discarding them because they think they are outdated. I probably got enough to start a sever farm good enough to compete with google now :) | 00:11 |
| stabbymctwist | i probably can't | 00:11 |
| stabbymctwist | pat5star -- i can't even run two complete machines, heh | 00:11 |

| carlzenox | sudo apt-get install wine <<< type that to get wine? | 00:12 |

| pat5star | I just did a whois on myself and it printed out a bunch of info, is that only viewable to me or did all of you see it too? | 00:14 |
| ramzay | becuse it is | 00:14 |
| flipstar | pat5star: to everyone | 00:14 |
| pat5star | flipstar: oh, so if I wanna snoop on others, how do I do that where only I see it :P | 00:15 |
| flipstar | pat5star: does this scare you? see www.irclog.ubuntu.com | 00:15 |
| joh6nn | pat5star: a little of both. we can all see it if we whois you ourselves, but it didn't just print out in the channel | 00:15 |
| joh6nn | at least, it didn't for me | 00:15 |
| stabbymctwist | the whois list only comes back to you | 00:15 |
| flipstar | pat5star: does this scare you? see * www.irclogs.ubuntu.com | 00:15 |
| stabbymctwist | it just means to be careful what you say | 00:15 |
| pat5star | flipstar: that url didn't bring up anything | 00:16 |
| flipstar | the second.. | 00:16 |
| flipstar | forgot that s | 00:16 |
| joh6nn | stabbymctwist: nah, it just means to log in as someone else | 00:16 |
| flipstar | or use tor | 00:16 |
| stabbymctwist | joh6nn -- hah | 00:16 |
| pat5star | flipstar: the second url still doesn't bring up anything | 00:16 |
| flipstar | hmm http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ works | 00:17 |
| pat5star | I did that the other day to someone on here, and then they asked the channel why I pinged them...I was wondering how they knew I did that | 00:17 |
| flipstar | its mentioned in the freenode tab i thing | 00:18 |

| unix_lappy | anyone here using the download them all firefox plugin and noticing a slow down/ | 00:19 |
| flipstar | lol i dont think anyone knows the irc name of the prime minister from canada :) | 00:20 |
| stabbymctwist | they will now | 00:20 |
| stabbymctwist | heh | 00:20 |
| pat5star | stabbymctwist: oh I got some weird message from you, so I guess that means you pinged me...I see now, thx :) | 00:21 |
| stabbymctwist | pat5star -- thanks? | 00:21 |
| pat5star | stabbymctwist: well for showing me what that person who questioned me the other day would have seen | 00:21 |
| stabbymctwist | pat5star -- ah, i just thought it would be ironic/funny | 00:22 |
| pat5star | flipstar: if the prime minister of Canada did have an IRC name, I wonder what it would be and what channels he would hang out on! I bet #kubuntu is one of them :) | 00:23 |
| stabbymctwist | pat5star -- well, naturally every prime minister uses kubuntu | 00:24 |
| pat5star | lol | 00:24 |
| flipstar | who knows..maybe he is here..right now! | 00:24 |

| pat5star | stabbymctwist: he's the first coolest pm we've had in years, but I'll leave politics out of this :) | 00:27 |
| |unimatrix| | would i break kubuntu's dependencies if i compiled wine over the repository version? | 00:27 |
| flipstar | nope | 00:28 |
| |unimatrix| | lovely | 00:28 |
| flipstar | |unimatrix|: but remember pining the package or it will be overwritten on the next wine update | 00:28 |
| joh6nn | anyone familiar with how KDE handles users $PATH variables? mine seems not to be set properly | 00:29 |
| stabbymctwist | um, maybe a fedora place knows more about that, since /sbin doesn't seem to be in the default $PATH | 00:29 |
| stabbymctwist | it would be a more common problem there | 00:30 |
| gtt | I've just about had it with quanta | 00:30 |
| |unimatrix| | flipstar: i want it to be overwritten... but still, how do you pin it? | 00:30 |
| flipstar | echo package hold|sudo dpkg --set-selections | 00:30 |
| flipstar | were package is wine in this case | 00:31 |
| joh6nn | stabbymctwist: well, the issue is that my $PATH is just fine in bash; from Konsole, everything works | 00:31 |
| |unimatrix| | and how do you unpin it? | 00:31 |
| bkudria | i'm seeing a strange issue with akregator: fetching feeds works only very sporadically, mostly the fetch fails immediatly, and "akregator: WARNING: Error listening on socket: -1" is printed on stdout. googling for this message, or a simialr issue yields nothing helpful. i'm using akregator 1.2.7 on kde 3.5.8 on kubuntu gutsy. any advice? | 00:31 |
| joh6nn | but if i try to run things from alt+f2, KDE says it can't find anything | 00:31 |
| flipstar | |unimatrix|: echo package install|sudo dpkg --set-selections | 00:31 |
| |unimatrix| | thanks flipstar, i'm gonna write that down | 00:31 |
| fuhreal | Anyone know if there is an app in adept for online TV ??/ | 00:32 |
| flipstar | |unimatrix|: i did that too :) | 00:32 |
| stabbymctwist | fuhreal -- Miro | 00:32 |
| fuhreal | stabbymctwist: ty | 00:32 |
| stabbymctwist | i'd suggest googling it first, it might not be exactly what you're looknig for | 00:33 |
| flipstar | fuhreal: zattoo is also good..but not in adept | 00:33 |
| joh6nn | bkudria: url of an example feed? | 00:33 |
| fuhreal | i'm looking for something like ..... tvants for windows | 00:34 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: i see it across 95% of my feeds, but here is one, for example: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default | 00:35 |
| carlzenox | ok i apt-get firefox but how do i actuwally use it >.< | 00:35 |
| joh6nn | carlzenox: alt+f2, "firefox" | 00:35 |
| flipstar | carlzenox: it should also in kmenu->internet->firefox | 00:35 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: problem seems more likely to happen if i fetch more than 1 feed at once, but it happens with single feeds too | 00:36 |
| carlzenox | thx guys | 00:36 |
| mikes | anyone know how come my GTK based apps (firefox, xchat) only have the default, blocky theme? gtk+ theme changer allows me to pick more, but it affects not any apps :-( | 00:36 |
| carlzenox | flipstar: it aint there =/ | 00:36 |
| mikes | in kde4 this is | 00:36 |
| flipstar | carlzenox: run kbuildsycoca and check again.. | 00:36 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: i'm able to download the feed otherwise (konqueror, wget, ect) without problems - this is limited to akregator | 00:36 |
| joh6nn | bkudria: gimme a sec, i'm googling | 00:37 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: tried that :) | 00:37 |
| fuhreal | stabbymctwist: i think miro is what i need | 00:38 |
| stabbymctwist | fuhreal -- you can find other feeds for tv shows via google, too | 00:38 |
| fuhreal | stabbymctwist: Leafs vs sabres... and i'm in pensilvania right now :( | 00:40 |
| joh6nn | bkudria: try purging akregator and reinstalling it? (be sure to back up your feeds, first) | 00:40 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: tried that already. it's definetly more prevalent with multiple feeds - it looks like when the first feed doesn't immediately return, the other feeds bail out and fail | 00:42 |
| joh6nn | bkudria: this is gustsy? | 00:42 |
| fuhreal | stabbymctwist: darnit... sportsnet isn't avail | 00:44 |

| joh6nn | RSC-232: what's it do? | 00:55 |
| bkudria | joh6nn: ok, understandable. thanks for looking! | 00:55 |
| Arwen | RSC-232, how about "linuxmce"? It's very much like it. | 00:55 |
| RSC-232 | no | 00:55 |
| RSC-232 | ... the people in the chat are insulting | 00:55 |
| RSC-232 | i refuse to use it | 00:55 |
| stabbymctwist | people? | 00:55 |
| stabbymctwist | that's plural | 00:55 |
| g_m_t_s | hi guys somebody here speak spanish? | 00:55 |
| Arwen | then, um... try explaining what features of "linuxmce" you need. | 00:55 |
| stabbymctwist | the insult was singular | 00:55 |
| joh6nn | stabbymctwist: i think he means #linuxmce | 00:56 |
| tekteen | RSC-232: linuxmce is a combination of other programs | 00:56 |
| Arwen | or get over it and ignore the idiots | 00:56 |
| flipstar | !es > g_m_t_s | 00:56 |
| RSC-232 | i know | 00:56 |
| RSC-232 | i want home automation + PVR | 00:56 |
| tekteen | RSC-232: with some of there own code | 00:56 |
| bkudria | g_m_t_s: try #kubuntu-es | 00:56 |
| Arwen | RSC-232, MythTV | 00:56 |
| tekteen | RSC-232: mythtv may work | 00:56 |
| RSC-232 | what about home automation? | 00:56 |
| WeaponX | how big should i make my / partition? | 00:56 |
| Arwen | well, what do you mean by "home automation"? | 00:56 |
| tekteen | RSC-232: there is nothing "like" linuxmce | 00:56 |
| Arwen | if you need to schedule tasks, that's what cron/anacron are for | 00:56 |
| joh6nn | WeaponX: 10G is more than adequate | 00:57 |
| flipstar | WeaponX: at least 5gig i would say | 00:57 |
| joh6nn | i usually keep mine around 5G | 00:57 |
| WeaponX | yea i was gonna go with 5gb | 00:57 |
| RSC-232 | turn off lights etc | 00:57 |
| WeaponX | and is a 1gb swap ok? | 00:57 |
| joh6nn | how much ram have you got? | 00:57 |
| flipstar | WeaponX: but if you want to test kde4 or some some more would hurt :) | 00:57 |
| joh6nn | conventional wisdom is about 1.5 x ram | 00:57 |
| WeaponX | ~ joh6nn ~ 1gb ram | 00:57 |
| Arwen | RSC-232, write a shell script that calls whatever function that is. Then use cron or anacron to run it at a specific time or as a result of an event. | 00:57 |
| joh6nn | WeaponX: then i'd go with 1.5-2G for swap | 00:58 |
| WeaponX | ~ flipstar ~ ive had kubuntu for a bit now, just dont wanna make the partitions too small | 00:58 |
| WeaponX | ~ joh6nn ~ ah kk | 00:58 |
| flipstar | i made mine 15gig just for fun | 00:58 |
| joh6nn | flipstar: you have 15G of swap? | 00:58 |
| flipstar | lol | 00:58 |
| flipstar | no..root filesystem | 00:59 |
| joh6nn | ahhh | 00:59 |
| joh6nn | i was gonna say | 00:59 |
| joh6nn | WeaponX: strongly recommend that you put /tmp on its own partition | 00:59 |
| WeaponX | why do you say that? | 00:59 |
| flipstar | maybe he means /home instead of /tmp ..? | 01:00 |
| joh6nn | flipstar: no, i mean /tmp | 01:01 |
| flipstar | ../tmp gets deletet every login afair | 01:01 |
| joh6nn | yeah, but i don't log in and out all that often. lots of people don't | 01:01 |
| joh6nn | which means it can pretty big pretty fast | 01:01 |
| WeaponX | yes /home has its own partition | 01:01 |
| WeaponX | 5gb | 01:01 |
| joh6nn | if it's on its own partition, and it fills up, then the worst that happens is some particular app crashes | 01:02 |
| RSC-232 | is 20gig enough for kubuntu? | 01:02 |
| flipstar | sure | 01:02 |
| joh6nn | if /tmp is on /, and /tmp gets huge and fills / to capacity, things can get kind of interesting | 01:02 |
| flipstar | okay..make sence but since i login regular doesnt affect me .. | 01:03 |
| stabbymctwist | weaponx -- /boot is also handy to have on a seperate partition | 01:04 |
| tekteen | RSC-232: yes | 01:04 |
| flipstar | is there a way in koversation to switch tabs without mouse? | 01:06 |
| flipstar | *konversation | 01:06 |
| SlimeyPete | shift + right iirc | 01:06 |
| tekteen | ctrl+tab | 01:07 |
| tekteen | works with most programs | 01:07 |
| SlimeyPete | oh wait, yeah, that might be right | 01:07 |
| flipstar | doesnt work both .. | 01:07 |
| flipstar | okay ctrl+tab work if the focus is on the window itself | 01:08 |
| tekteen | ok | 01:09 |
| tekteen | so it does work? | 01:09 |
| flipstar | jep :) thx | 01:09 |
| tekteen | np | 01:09 |
| jckffyi | will the grub install see windows even if windows has been wiped off of the mbr? Or will I need to edit the menu.lst afterwards? | 01:10 |
| stabbymctwist | ubuntu will see windows and configure grub accordingly | 01:10 |
| flipstar | tekteen: it just dont make sense since i have to click on the window..and after switching tabs the focus is again on the speech bar :/ | 01:11 |

| Jucato | as for a screenshot tour of hardy heron itself... might have to google for that | 03:44 |
| spawn57 | oh | 03:44 |
| Jucato | Darkrift411: K Menu -> System Settings -> Advanced tab | 03:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Darkrift411, system settings > advanced | 03:44 |
| Jucato | (that tutorial is for GNOME) | 03:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | those are gnome instructions :P | 03:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | beat me again :\ | 03:45 |
| * NickPresta pats Daisuke_Ido's back. | 03:45 | |
| Darkrift411 | ty | 03:45 |
| NickPresta | It's okay. Jucato beats me frequently too | 03:45 |
| spawn57 | Jucato: it says tht there's compiz effects in kubuntu's hardy heron release notes. Any idea what kind? | 03:45 |
| Jucato | spawn57: dunno | 03:45 |
| spawn57 | damn | 03:45 |
| Jucato | hehehe | 03:45 |
| prince_jammys | wobbly stuff | 03:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | since part of kubuntu hardy's roadmap was feature parity with ubuntu, i would imagine the same effects | 03:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | typical is shadowing and inactive titlebar transparency, advanced moves into min/max effects and wobbly windows | 03:47 |
| Jucato | spawn57: kubuntu doesn't have compiz that is separate from ubuntu's. basically what it probably means is that either compiz is installed by default or that it's very easy to install it | 03:47 |
| spawn57 | Jucato: probably, I'll find out when i upgrade in a few weeks. I upgraded to 3.5.9 on gutsy and it broke hal so I'm pretty annoyed :( | 03:49 |
| Jucato | spawn57: you can always ask in #ubuntu+1 | 03:51 |
| spawn57 | yeah, I treid. | 03:51 |
| spawn57 | i'm just gonna wait for 2 weeks, I think it comes out then | 03:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | about a month. | 03:52 |
| Alan_M | later everyone | 03:57 |
| maduser | whats konversations scripting directory? | 03:59 |
| Jucato | maduser: the system-wide/default installed scripts are in /usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts | 04:00 |
| Jucato | maduser: you can put your own (per user only) in ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts/ | 04:00 |
| maduser | you also can specify the area where the script is | 04:01 |
| maduser | but I get a permisons error | 04:01 |
| Jucato | specify the area where the script is? | 04:02 |
| maduser | yeah like exec /home/script | 04:02 |
| posingaspopular | sudo the command | 04:03 |
| Jucato | posingaspopular: hm? | 04:03 |
| maduser | mabe | 04:03 |
| maduser | lets see | 04:03 |
| Jucato | maduser: well true, but for convenience, you can keep them with all the other scripts | 04:03 |
| Jucato | but what permission errors do you get? is the script executable? | 04:03 |
| maduser | Could not execute script "/home/kevin/woo". Check file permissions. | 04:04 |
| maduser | thats it | 04:04 |
| Jucato | :D | 04:04 |
| maduser | now nothings happening | 04:08 |
| Jucato | without knowing what the script is or what it's supposed to do, can't really help you there | 04:09 |
| maduser | it spose to print out information | 04:09 |

| Daisuke_Ido | intelikey, why would you use bx when there's irssi? | 04:38 |
| nick_ | witch program i use for connect to another pc | 04:39 |
| intelikey | Daisuke_Ido i'm lazy | 04:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fair enough | 04:39 |
| intelikey | Daisuke_Ido :) | 04:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | just something i've noticed recently concering ubuntu (as a collective)... there have been more and more "linux purists" (read: trolls) trying to detract attention because they fear mass adoption... | 04:40 |
| intelikey | nick_ depends on what you mean by connect. web browser... ftp client... vnc viewer... ssh(and all it's facets)... samba/nfs... ? | 04:41 |
| nick_ | like vnc | 04:41 |
| intelikey | Daisuke_Ido yeah i don't like the dirrection that cannonical is taking linux. it's ok to take one distro that way. problem is it's dragging all FOSS with it... | 04:42 |
| intelikey | at least up to this point the shift is minor. | 04:43 |
| intelikey | !find vnc | nick_ | 04:43 |
| ubotu | nick_: Found: libvncserver-dev, xvnc4viewer, directvnc, libsvncpp-dev, libsvncpp0c2a (and 18 others) | 04:43 |
| nick_ | the better one ? | 04:44 |
| intelikey | tight-vnc ? | 04:44 |
| Dr__Willis | Theres a dozen vnc variants. :) most work about the same. | 04:44 |
| nick_ | ok good | 04:44 |
| Dr__Willis | for windows i tend to nstall 'ultravnc' | 04:44 |
| Dr__Willis | Tightvnc, or vnc4server is what i use on linux normally | 04:44 |
| intelikey | doc don't look now but you're spreding out in the middle... | 04:45 |
| Dr__Willis | Yep. :) | 04:45 |
| intelikey | :) | 04:45 |
| kanadian | can I connect to a cisco based system at my university via VNC software such as those? | 04:45 |
| Dr__Willis | Middle aged spread. | 04:45 |
| Dr__Willis | If they are running a vncserver.. yes.. if not.. no.. :) i guess.. | 04:45 |
| kanadian | sorry. newb question | 04:46 |
| kanadian | they are running a vnc server though | 04:46 |
| Dr__Willis | You may want to read up on vnc. its a very flexiable tool. | 04:46 |
| kanadian | I sense a sunday project coming on :) | 04:46 |
| intelikey | nick_ i purposly omited "telnet" in the list ^ up there | 04:46 |
| intelikey | i can't believe i got this computer working.... | 04:47 |

| ubotu | Found: libvncserver-dev, xvnc4viewer, directvnc, libsvncpp-dev, libsvncpp0c2a (and 18 others) | 04:51 |
| intelikey | about five days later i happened to think of one other trick... went out and dumped the water out of it, brought it in, hooked the psu back up and plugged a cpu in(without heatsync "duh OOPS") and it almost posted bios before it pooped and smelled funny (hot) | 04:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !find tightvnc | 04:51 |
| Dr__Willis | !find tightvnc | 04:51 |
| ubotu | Found: tightvncserver, xtightvncviewer, tightvnc-java | 04:51 |
| Dr__Willis | Its riht there in the repos... | 04:51 |
| intelikey | heh. added a heatsync and ram... i'm talking on it. | 04:51 |
| nick_ | ummm | 04:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nick_, i highly recommend you read up on repositories and package managers | 04:52 |
| Dr__Willis | apt-get install tightvncserver xtightvncviewer | 04:52 |
| intelikey | !repos | 04:52 |

I know im asking for a lot, but it would be much appreciated | 04:55 |
| nick_ | Dr__Willis: i install tight vnc but i not see it lol | 04:55 |
| Dr__Willis | nick_, you may want to read its docs.. | 04:56 |
| Dr__Willis | 'not see' as in you dont see an icon? Thats normal... | 04:56 |
| Dr__Willis | its not a gui app. :) | 04:56 |

| * Dr__Willis rembers suggesting reading up on vnc earier.. | 04:57 | |
| Dr__Willis | I tend to use vnc4server, not tightvnc. not sure how the 2 differ | 04:57 |
| nick_ | ok | 04:57 |
| crxyem | wmv streams for example | 04:57 |
| nick_ | like crossloop or logmein | 04:58 |
| nick_ | do you have something comparable | 04:58 |
| intelikey | tightvnc is formulated specifically for slower networks. not needed much anymore by most people. | 04:58 |
| Dr__Willis | Yea. I was wondering more how the confiugs/defaults are set up | 04:59 |
| Dr__Willis | vnc4server makes a .vnc dir and ,vnc/xstartup file to allow easy tweaking. :) | 04:59 |
| Dr__Willis | some others seem to do it differently | 04:59 |
| intelikey | .tightvncrc ? | 04:59 |
| Dr__Willis | tightvnc seems to be identical to vnc4server in this area. | 05:00 |
| Dr__Willis | Hmm.. tightvnc only let me use a 8 letter password for the vnc server | 05:00 |
| intelikey | ummm single packet limit there ? | 05:01 |
| * intelikey hadn't noticed but doesn't normally use a vnc | 05:01 | |

| Jucato | asobi: Ark uses utilties to do its extracting/compressing. try installing whatever utility is needed for ace formats | 05:56 |
| Jucato | nick_: again, if you have installed kubuntu-restricted-extras, you do need to make your life harder | 05:56 |

| asobi | i assume i can install unace from adept? | 05:57 |
| intelikey | can still use unace if he needs to access an .ace | 05:57 |

| pattyta | kubuntu... | 06:06 |
| Jucato | intelikey: um? | 06:06 |
| mrtimbo | eh | 06:07 |
| asobi | inteli is trying to be funny | 06:07 |
| posingaspopular | which one pattyta | 06:07 |
| Jucato | pattyta: click on the K Menu. click on Add/Remove Programs. search for the program or programs you want to install, click on the box beside their name to check it, then click Apply Changes to install them | 06:07 |
| asobi | jucato is the most patient, helpful person i know | 06:08 |
| asobi | ^^ | 06:08 |
| Jucato | nah. :P | 06:08 |
| Jucato | there are others too. probably better than me. they just happen to be asleep or at work :) | 06:09 |
| pattyta | But I get nothing | 06:09 |
| asobi | true | 06:09 |
| pattyta | I need help, I am new to this | 06:09 |
| asobi | so where are you? | 06:09 |
| intelikey | or even sleeping at work. | 06:09 |
| intelikey | man i can't stay on top of this thing today. | 06:10 |
| Jucato | go bottom :) | 06:10 |
| asobi | haha | 06:10 |
| Colonel_Panic | hey does anyone in here know anything about configuring eggdrop bots? | 06:10 |
| pattyta | There is some room in Spanish ?? | 06:10 |
| Jucato | !es | pattyta | 06:10 |
| intelikey | !es | 06:10 |
| ubotu | pattyta: En el canal donde esta solo se premite hablar ingles. Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 06:10 |
| asobi | is there a #eggdrop chan? =P | 06:11 |
| intelikey | Colonel_Panic what in particular ? | 06:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah, but it's dead in there | 06:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | well | 06:11 |
| asobi | oh -_- | 06:11 |
| pattyta | Thanks guys, it became =) | 06:11 |
| Jucato | of course that doesn't make *this* channel the correct place to ask. :) | 06:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | I keep getting this error every time I telnet to it | 06:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | for some reason my bot won't recognize my password | 06:12 |
| Jucato | (if you do find someone in here who does know, please take the questions/conversation in private or in #kubuntu-offtopic thanks) | 06:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | I have to delete the user file | 06:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | then re-log in as NEW to reassume control of it | 06:12 |
| pattyta | Apologize for the inconvenience, but I am new xD | 06:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | when I try to re-log in after restarting the bot | 06:13 |
| Jucato | pattyta: no problem | 06:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | I get this error: "Can't telnet until you have a password set" | 06:13 |
| pattyta | The bad thing is that there is nobody in the other room :( | 06:14 |
| Colonel_Panic | for some reason it's not saving my password | 06:14 |
| * Jucato *kindly* points Colonel_Panic to the fact that it is offtopic in here... | 06:14 | |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah I know | 06:14 |
| intelikey | Colonel_Panic hmm never had that happen but i always controlled locally. maybe someone in ##linux would know | 06:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | hmmm ok thx | 06:15 |
| EightiesK | when i try to install kubuntu it errors ans won't start x server anyone know why? | 06:16 |
| EightiesK | then it errors in Safe gfx mode... | 06:17 |
| EightiesK | anyone? | 06:18 |
| intelikey | EightiesK maybe boot with "noacpi vga=normal" ? | 06:18 |
| EightiesK | intelikey: where would i type that? | 06:18 |
| intelikey | at the boot prompt | 06:19 |
| intelikey | f1 | 06:19 |
| Pendeta | I just installed KDE on Ubuntu Server Edition. How do I start KDE? | 06:19 |
| intelikey | startx ? | 06:19 |
| intelikey | Pendeta or are you asking for a display manager ? install gdm | 06:19 |
| * intelikey doesn't reccomend kdm cause he doesn't like it. | 06:20 | |
| Jucato | or "startkde" | 06:20 |
| nixternal | or "startjucato" | 06:20 |
| intelikey | Jucato does that now bring up the xserver ? | 06:21 |
| Jucato | it always has | 06:21 |
| nixternal | really? | 06:21 |
| Jucato | iirc | 06:21 |
| Jucato | :) | 06:21 |
| Jucato | oh no wait | 06:21 |
| Jucato | lol | 06:21 |
| intelikey | hmmm never has for me. | 06:21 |
| Jucato | starx + startkde | 06:21 |
| Jucato | startx* | 06:21 |
| nixternal | there you go | 06:21 |
| Jucato | bah! that signals bed time :) | 06:21 |
| nixternal | or, export DISPLAY=:0 ring a bell? | 06:21 |
| * Jucato is incoherent when he's incoherent | 06:21 | |
| nixternal | sudo /etc/inti.d/kdm restart | 06:21 |
| Jucato | nope. no bells here. only buzzers | 06:22 |
| nixternal | works all the time...or s/restart/start | 06:22 |
| intelikey | yeah. but if he has only installed kde on top of ubuntu-server startx will default to kde | 06:22 |
| Jucato | buzzes | 06:22 |
| asobi | thanks for the help and good night | 06:22 |
| nixternal | intelikey: not necessarily | 06:22 |
| nixternal | if he installed kubuntu-desktop then yes | 06:22 |
| Jucato | depends on the setting for X | 06:22 |
| nixternal | if he installed the kde-core stuff then I don't believe it does | 06:22 |
| nixternal | I know I had to create a custom start script for my trunk build of KDE 4 and KDE 3 | 06:22 |
| intelikey | nixternal kde != kde-core | 06:22 |
| nixternal | intelikey: then how else would you install a fully functional KDE? by installed libs, pimlibs, base, pim, and so on? | 06:23 |
| intelikey | nixternal by installing kde | 06:23 |
| nixternal | kde-core is the meta package that install a vanilla KDE | 06:23 |
| intelikey | !find kde | 06:24 |
| ubotu | Found: atlantikdesigner, edubuntu-addon-kde, edubuntu-desktop-kde, gdebi-kde, gettext-kde (and 572 others) | 06:24 |
| intelikey | !info kde | 06:24 |
| ubotu | kde (source: meta-kde): the K Desktop Environment official modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 5:47 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB | 06:24 |
| asobi | can someone dcc me something, want to test? | 06:24 |
| nixternal | oh ya, forgot about the kde metapackage..you are right intelikey | 06:24 |
| intelikey | sorry wrong switch. | 06:24 |
| nixternal | I am thinking kde4-core | 06:24 |
| asobi | say a picture, something small | 06:24 |
| nixternal | a picture, something small | 06:24 |
| asobi | >.< | 06:24 |
| nixternal | haha | 06:25 |
| nixternal | you told me to say it | 06:25 |
| nixternal | I have DCC blocked | 06:25 |
| asobi | anyone? | 06:25 |
| intelikey | test. | 06:25 |
| asobi | hmm | 06:26 |
| pattyta | I can send someone in the courtroom Spanish please | 06:26 |
| asobi | why does my dcc not work | 06:26 |
| intelikey | asobi router firewall | 06:26 |
| asobi | i use guarddog | 06:26 |
| EightiesK | intelikey: it says starting powernode can't create long line of code directory none existant | 06:26 |
| Pendeta | startx is giving a "no such file or directory" message. Does that mean I have a bad install? | 06:27 |
| intelikey | EightiesK yeah that's cause you told it not to insert the acpi modules and ? | 06:27 |
| EightiesK | it started xserver then went back to the prompt | 06:28 |
| EightiesK | and its just stuck there. | 06:28 |
| EightiesK | just blinking. | 06:28 |
| intelikey | Pendeta no. it means you installed a desktop environment without an xserver install xwindow-system-core | 06:28 |
| EightiesK | do i need alt install disk? | 06:29 |
| intelikey | EightiesK ok. do you have at least 256m ram there ? | 06:29 |
| Pendeta | intelikey, thanks. I'll do that now. | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | lol | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | no | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | lol | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | old computer. | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | well ya | 06:29 |
| intelikey | EightiesK that's your problem. and yes alternate install | 06:29 |
| EightiesK | exactly 256 | 06:29 |
| intelikey | errr then it should be plenty for the livecd | 06:30 |
| EightiesK | would oem be ok? | 06:30 |
| EightiesK | or will it format the whole comptuert? | 06:30 |
| intelikey | </shrugs> and points at jucato | 06:31 |
| asobi | anyone use guarddog? | 06:31 |
| asobi | jucato went to bed | 06:31 |
| intelikey | well i didn't even know that ubuntu was producing OEM cd's | 06:32 |
| EightiesK | lol | 06:33 |
| intelikey | hey don't laugh too hard. i'm a linux fan but not really much of a ubuntu fan. | 06:34 |
| EightiesK | i fixed it | 06:34 |
| EightiesK | I went in thru oem mode. | 06:35 |
| intelikey | asobi i installed guarddog and firestarter both one time to see if either would support the kind of custom tabeling i needed and neither did. so i haven't seen them sense. | 06:36 |
| EightiesK | anyone else here have a WUSB54g version 4 wireless card | 06:36 |
| asobi | what firewall do you use? | 06:36 |
| intelikey | same one you do iptables. | 06:37 |
| asobi | ... | 06:37 |
| asobi | oh right | 06:37 |
| intelikey | all guarddog and firestarter are is frontends to iptables | 06:37 |
| asobi | so how do you dcc? | 06:37 |
| intelikey | i leave a port open | 06:37 |
| asobi | how so? | 06:38 |
| asobi | i prefer gui but i am willing to use prompt | 06:38 |
| EightiesK | truthfully if it wasn't for amorok and kopete oh and katapult i'd stil with windows | 06:40 |
| asobi | O.o | 06:41 |
| intelikey | $iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10100 -j ACCEPT | 06:42 |
| intelikey | something like that will open a port for you | 06:42 |
| asobi | how do i know which port to open? | 06:42 |
| intelikey | of course 10100 is an example onlyu | 06:42 |
| intelikey | default irc is 6667 | 06:43 |
| asobi | well i can use irc fine | 06:43 |
| intelikey | you can "pick one" and set your client to use it. | 06:43 |
| asobi | i think 59 is default for dcc? | 06:43 |
| intelikey | 8000 here | 06:43 |
| asobi | hmm | 06:43 |
| asobi | #xchat is dead | 06:43 |
| asobi | how do i set xchat to a dcc port | 06:44 |
| intelikey | ##linux is probably drunk and #ubuntu is newbish | 06:44 |
| asobi | it looks like my entire port ranges are open | 06:44 |
| intelikey | asobi in it's menu | 06:44 |
| asobi | what menu? | 06:44 |
| DarkriftX | is there anyone in here familiar enough with the process of getting bcm43xx (4311) installed and working to walk me thru it? I have tried many tutorials (7 mo's ago i got it working after 3 weeks). Im running a 7.10 liveDVD right now, and i want to make sure i can get it running before wiping vista off. I know im asking for a lot, but it would be much appreciated | 06:44 |
| intelikey | asobi you have a version of xchat that doesn't have a menu ? | 06:45 |
| asobi | define menu? | 06:45 |
| DarkriftX | asobi right click in the center of the chat window, should bring up the menu | 06:45 |
| intelikey | asobi ;/ | 06:46 |
| DarkriftX | i htink he means he "file view" etc menu | 06:46 |
| asobi | oh | 06:46 |
| asobi | yea | 06:46 |
| asobi | i do | 06:46 |
| asobi | which menu do i want | 06:46 |
| asobi | my settings show i have all ports open | 06:46 |
| asobi | settings -> preferences -> file transfer -> ports 0 to 0 is all ports open yes? | 06:47 |
| asobi | nothing in dcc ip address though | 06:47 |
| intelikey | i haven't used xchat in many years now... | 06:47 |
| EightiesK | is there a mirandaIM client for linux or is is windows only? | 06:48 |
| intelikey | well thanks for wakeing me up. i need to make rounds. | 06:48 |
| asobi | use pidgin | 06:48 |
| EightiesK | i used pidgin since .07 GAIM Alpha | 06:49 |
| EightiesK | lol | 06:49 |
| EightiesK | latley theres so many bugs.... | 06:49 |
| asobi | -_- | 06:49 |
| asobi | it's fine here | 06:49 |
| EightiesK | in linux i prefer kopete. | 06:50 |
| asobi | the layout/organization is unattractive to me | 06:51 |
| EightiesK | the only way i can get into Xserver is in oem mode but i can't do a regualr install from there.... | 06:51 |
| * asobi is a newb, can't help you there :/ | 06:52 | |
| asobi | tried live cd? | 06:52 |
| asobi | it was very easy for me | 06:52 |
| EightiesK | it is the live cd | 06:52 |
| EightiesK | but the live cd won't open xserver | 06:53 |
| asobi | ... | 06:53 |
| asobi | um | 06:53 |
| asobi | damaged cd? | 06:53 |
| EightiesK | no | 06:53 |
| asobi | no idea then | 06:53 |
| EightiesK | it runs the live cd in oem mode | 06:53 |
| asobi | try another live cd? | 06:53 |
| stdin | BT note: please don't remove these: | 07:00 |
| Arwen | um, libiconv is part of libc6, right? | 07:11 |
| Arwen | I've got a source package that's searching for libiconv.so | 07:12 |
| cq | is shutdown -r a good idea under kubuntu, or are the log-off options better? | 07:14 |
| Arwen | it's a good idea if you want to reboot... | 07:14 |
| Arwen | you might wanna log out first if you prefer not having a term signal being sent to all your apps | 07:15 |
| cq | sure, i just had a term running, so it's ok | 07:15 |
| cq | is there anyone really technically good here? I think I managed to hose my whole system with one apt-get install ... | 07:17 |
| cq | now on boot in recovery mode the system hangs saying it's trying to read beyond the disk limits | 07:17 |
| cq | how exactly do ubuntu and kubuntu work, they take debian's archive and system, preconfigure it and add gnome/kde and change some bootups, or is there more to it? | 07:22 |
| cq | how stable/unstable is 8.04? | 07:28 |
| cq | I know it's beta, but is it early or late beta ;) | 07:28 |
| === dhq is now known as dhq_wifi | ||
| === mark-t is now known as mark-t__ | ||
| stdin | cq: the beta was releases on thursday | 07:59 |
| cq | I looked at the changes... looks like mostly desktop improvements, right? | 08:00 |
| cq | over 7.10 | 08:00 |
| stdin | cq: for the beta, yes. but remember there were alphas before that and quite a lot has changed "under the hood" | 08:01 |
| cq | where are the under the hood changes listed? is there a changelog somewhere? I didn't find one | 08:02 |
| stdin | cq: the entire changelogs? those are stored per source-package, have a look at http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/ to see them all, though they aren't sorted per release | 08:03 |
| stdin | so the entire changelog for packages are there, from the 1st packaging | 08:04 |
| cq | ah... there's no 'under the hood changes from 7.10 to 8.04' summary somewhere? :) | 08:04 |
| stdin | no, it would take months of effort just to do that and, to be frank, we have better things to do ;) | 08:05 |
| cq | understood ;) | 08:05 |
| cq | I'm just trying to figure out if I want to install the beta or not. | 08:05 |
| cq | are the releases based on debian stable, testing, or a mixture? | 08:05 |
| stdin | unstable | 08:06 |
| stdin | that is, debian unstable | 08:06 |
| cq | unstable? that's gutsy... | 08:06 |
| cq | why not testing? or are some things too slow there? | 08:06 |
| stdin | testing breaks too much | 08:06 |
| cq | I thought the point of testing was to move it from unstable into testing only when it _doesnt_ break too much | 08:07 |
| cq | i.e. dependencies OK, no bugs filed in XX days ... | 08:07 |
| stdin | I thought it was testing -> unstable, but I'm not sure any more. haven't used debian for years now | 08:08 |
| stdin | if you want to test the ISOs, have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing though we recommend you keep backups, etc... etc... | 08:08 |
| cq | no, unstable -> testing -> stable | 08:08 |
| cq | http://www.debian.org/devel/testing is a good quick summary | 08:09 |
| cq | there's also experimental for stuff too unstable to go into unstable | 08:10 |
| stdin | hardy should be stable enough for an experienced user, but probably not for the "average" one | 08:10 |
| stdin | cq: give me main, restricted, universe and multiverse. less confusing :p | 08:11 |
| * djdarkman is installing hardy.... | 08:11 | |
| djdarkman | so far soo good, no troble with the upgrade tool that worked nice when I upgraded to gutsy | 08:11 |
| cq | stdin: it's different, debian develops the base system, so their stuff is organised along stability lines. the ubuntu worls is along base system to userland dimensions | 08:12 |
| stdin | cq: yes, I know :) | 08:13 |

| ProbeDot | i have a text file having one word on each line. how can i delet duplcate words? | 09:15 |
| SSJ_GZ | ProbeDot: Run in through sort and uniq | 09:17 |
| SSJ_GZ | *it | 09:17 |
| ProbeDot | SSJ_GZ nickrud if there are sentences on each line instead of words. then what will this do. cat /home/a.txt | sort | uniq ? | 09:18 |
| SSJ_GZ | ProbeDot: sort | uniq sorts the lines into alphabetical order, and filters out lines that are identical to the line before it. | 09:19 |
| ProbeDot | SSJ_GZ you mean exact lines? | 09:20 |
| SSJ_GZ | ProbeDot: I think they have to be 100% identical, yes. | 09:20 |
| ProbeDot | this will not be sorted? 1. helo how are you 2. helo how @are you (both lines will be untouched)? | 09:21 |
| ProbeDot | SSJ_GZ ok. thanks! | 09:21 |
| SSJ_GZ | ProbeDot: np -:) | 09:21 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: I'm hurt! :( I gave you the answer in another channel already! touch newfile.txt < oldfile.txt | uniq | 09:24 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: I'm hurt! oops, meant touch newfile.txt < cat oldfile.txt | uniq | 09:24 |
| ProbeDot | pat5star that was witha windows app. linux is better | 09:25 |
| ProbeDot | SSJ_GZ pat5star i have another small txt files. each line with one word. how do i delete the words in a.txt that match with words in the small file b.txt ? | 09:25 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: well I won't argue that with you :) | 09:26 |
| ProbeDot | pat5star :) | 09:26 |
| SSJ_GZ | ProbeDot: Hmmm ... can't think of a good way of doing that; sorry! | 09:26 |
| ProbeDot | k | 09:27 |
| Jucato | ProbeDot: you might want to try asking in ##bash or ##linux (probably the former) | 09:27 |
| ProbeDot | Jucato iam baned in linux | 09:27 |
| ProbeDot | dont know why | 09:27 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: depending upon how big it is, if it's not too big, you can do diff -u a.txt b.txt and compare the 2, if it's too big to manually edit, we can come up with a one liner to handle it :) | 09:27 |
| ProbeDot | pat5star the smal files has just 50 words. but the big file has about 5000 | 09:28 |
| * Jucato guesses a mixture of bash, grep, cut, etc | 09:29 | |
| ProbeDot | so what you should i do | 09:29 |
| Jucato | ##bash | 09:29 |
| ProbeDot | k | 09:29 |
| * Jucato thinks its offtopic for this channel anyway | 09:29 | |
| Jucato | if anyone's interested in continuing to help ProbeDot, please head over to #kubuntu-offtopic for it | 09:30 |
| Jucato | thanks | 09:30 |
| ProbeDot | your welcome Jucato :) | 09:30 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: a one-liner bash script would go something like this: for word in `cat a.txt`; do; grep $word b.txt; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; do echo $word >> c.txt; fi; done; | 09:32 |
| Jucato | ahem :) | 09:32 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: c.txt would contain all unique words | 09:32 |
| pat5star | Jucato: u have a cold? | 09:38 |
| ProbeDot | pat5star thanks | 09:40 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: yw, hope that worked, I'm drunk and high and worried that I didn't get syntax quite right :) | 09:40 |
| pat5star | ProbeDot: nothing like spending a Friday night drinking alone, popping percocets like candy, and chatting with a bunch of geeks on irc :P | 09:41 |
| jussi01 | pat5star: he has left. can we move on now please? | 09:42 |
| pat5star | and so everyone knows, I mean geeks in nicest form :) | 09:42 |
| pat5star | jussi01: oh, quite right...what is the next topic/question sir jussi01? | 09:42 |
| pat5star | jussi01: seeing that it's so busy and all | 09:42 |
| jussi01 | pat5star: this is a kubuntu support channel, you were asked to go to #kubuntu offtopic for other discussion | 09:43 |
| pat5star | jussi01: I answered his question on one short line, I'm sure it didn't upset this very important/busy channel that much, but if it did I offer my utmost apologies | 09:44 |
| pat5star | jussi01: and I promise to never, ever do something that bad again! | 09:45 |
| pat5star | jussi01: do you live in your parents basement and have lot of pimples? Don't mean to stereotype, but just trying to form a mental image :P | 09:47 |
| Jucato | pat5star: that is totally uncalled for | 09:48 |
| pat5star | Jucato: it is? my bad. | 09:48 |
| pat5star | Jucato: just wondering why a short one line answer to someones question gets a person in trouble, instead of thanked, that all. guess I'm a little perturbed | 09:49 |
| Jucato | 1. I already gave a warning to take the bash/scripting conversation to #kubuntu-offtopic (that was what the ahem was for). 2. please stay on topic and behave towards others | 09:49 |
| Jucato | it was not for that one single line but for the entire topic. and as I said, I already gave a heads up to continue in the offtopic channel | 09:50 |
| pat5star | Jucato: are we allowed to ask why? Or are we to accept orders without question? I'm trying to be helpful to new linux users...what you may not know was that he was asking for help in the #windows channel first | 09:50 |
| pat5star | Jucato: seems to me that our goal is to convert users to linux (any distro), and he moved here | 09:51 |
| Jucato | why? simple. this channel is for Kubuntu support questions. this channel (along with other ubuntu channels) have rules. one of them is to stay within the topic (which is Kubuntu support). we have offtopic channels for other kinds of conversations | 09:51 |
| pat5star | Jucato: I'd consider my one line answer a success that may help convert another user to becoming a fulltime user, but am being reprimanded by ops on the channel, just seems contradictory | 09:52 |
| Jucato | !guidelines | 09:52 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 09:52 |
| Jucato | <Jucato> it was not for that one single line but for the entire topic. and as I said, I already gave a heads up to continue in the offtopic channel | 09:53 |
| pat5star | Jucato: I'm aware of that. But his problem was solveable in kubuntu, which he is new too, and I offerred him help on one line. | 09:53 |
| Jucato | you keep on insisting that it's that *one liner* | 09:53 |
| pat5star | Jucato: how many lines do you think it was? | 09:53 |
| pat5star | Jucato: cause I do tend to ramble :) | 09:54 |
| Jucato | pat5star: and look, ProbeDot understood and had no problems about it | 09:54 |
| pat5star | Jucato: right, my point exactly. He couldn't get help on #windows but we solved it here. Is that not our goal? | 09:54 |
| Jucato | let's see, 10 minutes worth of conversation? | 09:54 |
| pat5star | Jucato: cause I could argue that most questions asked here should be taken off topic otherwise | 09:55 |
| * Jucato sighs | 09:55 | |
| Jucato | pat5star: this should be simple. we have rules. please abide by them | 09:55 |
| pat5star | Jucato: hey look, I'll sign off an leave permanetly if that helps you/makes you feel better. I'm just a huge kubuntu fan that wants to help others and convert them over too. Maybe I don't belong here | 09:56 |
| Jucato | no one's telling you to leave | 09:56 |
| Jucato | this conversation itself is already offtopic. and wouldn't be happening if you just 1. let it go like ProbeDot and 2. didn't bite back with that almost insulting remark | 09:57 |
| pat5star | Jucato: well then let's not have an argument over something as silly as this. I peruaded the user from #windows to here, sovled his problem that couldn't be solved on #windows, and the channel isn't busy. I really don't see your point, but I won't do it again either | 09:58 |
| pat5star | Jucato: ok I'll drop it and I apologize | 09:58 |
| harpal | plz help with mpg123 equiliser file format | 09:59 |

| devnul1 | Evening all... Need a quick question answered using xubuntu... Unable to locate any info in forms | 10:15 |
| devnul1 | any advailible to help real quick | 10:18 |
| pat5star | devnul1: what do you mean in forms? | 10:18 |
| devnul1 | The ubuntu web forms... My question is quick and simple.. I am using xubuntu but dont like the file manager it uses... I installed Kubuntu but to resource intensice... I was woundering if I can use DOLPHIN the Kubuntu file manager in xubuntu. Or can I install it with that version of ubuntu | 10:20 |
| pat5star | devnul1: I'm not sure if dolphin will run without kde, you can remove everything kde related, then apt-get install dolphin, and look to see what it wiil install and decide if it's worth it or not | 10:23 |
| devnul1 | Kewl Thanks for the info... I check that out and look around the web some more and see if i can find anything as well... Thanks for your time | 10:24 |
| philipp_ | I have installed a flashplayer called gnash how can i use him wiht Konqueror? | 10:25 |
| philipp_ | j #kubuntu-de | 10:26 |
| _Shade_ | hi there | 10:29 |
| _Shade_ | i just downloaded and installed kubuntu-kde4 beta image, and - to my suprise - i got kde3 os instead | 10:30 |
| pat5star | Shade_: if you logout, then click the button to the right of the form fields, you'll have the option for session. Choose kde4 and enter login info and it will load up kde4 for you | 10:37 |
| === JanMalte_ is now known as JanMalte | ||
| _Shade_ | pat5star: the point is i haven't got any kde4 in sessions menu. | 10:38 |
| Bewohner | nas | 10:39 |
| Jucato | _Shade_: that'd be weird. sure you got the right ISO? | 10:39 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: i followed the kubuntu.org's announcement :) | 10:40 |
| philipp_ | I have installed a flashplayer called gnash how can i use him wiht Konqueror? | 10:41 |
| Jucato | _Shade_: which one specifically? | 10:41 |
| Jucato | philipp_: try going to Settings -> COnfigure Konqueror -> Plugins -> click Scan for new plugins and click Apply and then OK | 10:42 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: oh man... my mistake, sorry.... aargh | 10:42 |
| pat5star | _Shade_: oh sry, did you download kde4-core (I think that's what it's called, I can't check now). apt-get install kde4-core | 10:42 |
| Jucato | pat5star: he thought he downloaded the KDE 4 remix ISO :) | 10:43 |
| Jucato | I guess he didnt :P | 10:43 |
| pat5star | Jucato: oh I misunderstood | 10:43 |
| Jucato | pat5star: I actually thought he downloaded the packages too | 10:44 |
| _Shade_ | but anyways... does anyone know how can i set up the nvidia restricted drivers? jockey doesn't install anything for me | 10:44 |
| * Jucato had to read the sentence twice | 10:44 | |
| philipp_ | Jucato it dosent work... i think i have to to give it the path where i have installed it at first | 10:44 |
| pat5star | Jucato: i'm on my server right now and don't have the extra repositories added so i can't look up what it is he needs to download | 10:44 |
| Jucato | pat5star: no problem. there's a #kubuntu-kde4 channel where _Shade_ can find lots of helpers for that :) | 10:45 |
| pat5star | _Shade_: you can type systemsettings in a term, then go to advanced, then restricted drivers and go from there | 10:46 |
| Jucato | philipp_: oooh looks like you have to install konqueror-plugin-gnash | 10:46 |
| Jucato | (or K Menu -> System Settigs :P) | 10:46 |
| pat5star | or like Jucato said too :) | 10:46 |
| philipp_ | philipp@hufi:~$ whereis gnash | 10:47 |
| philipp_ | gnash: /usr/bin/gnash /usr/lib/gnash /usr/share/gnash /usr/share/man/man1/gnash.1.gz | 10:47 |
| Jucato | or Alt+F2, "systemsettings" | 10:47 |
| pat5star | you gotta love linux, there is a ton of ways to do the same thing | 10:47 |
| * Jucato nods | 10:47 | |
| philipp_ | jucato what have i to do? | 10:47 |
| Jucato | <Jucato> philipp_: oooh looks like you have to install konqueror-plugin-gnash | 10:47 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: havent got THAT option in the advanced tab | 10:48 |
| Jucato | same way you installed gnash (how did you do that?) | 10:48 |
| Jucato | _Shade_: hm... KDE 3.5 right? | 10:48 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: indeed | 10:48 |
| Jucato | _Shade_: can you run "kdesu restricted-manager-kde" ? | 10:49 |
| Jucato | if it complains about it not existing, then install restricted-manager-kde | 10:50 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: i have jockey installed already | 10:51 |
| * Jucato doesn't know jockey | 10:54 | |
| Jucato | more over, I don't know how to use it... | 10:55 |
| _Shade_ | Jucato: it's a replacement for restricted manager in hardy | 10:55 |
| Jucato | um.. _Shade_ that is on hardy right? | 10:55 |
| Jucato | ok.. you might find more/better help in #ubuntu+1 for your questions then :) | 10:55 |

| m4n | what would be the best option to have some automatic wireless network configuring system tray application | 10:58 |
| m4n | anything that can scan for network at startup and enable selecting any one of them | 10:58 |
| Jucato | not a wireless expert, but I think knetworkmanager can handle that | 10:59 |
| jpatrick | m4n: I think KNetworkManager does that | 10:59 |
| m4n | let me see if I have that installed | 10:59 |
| pat5star | m4n: if not, you should install that...imo it's kubuntus best wireless network manager: apt-get install knetworkmanager and it will be in kmenu -> internet -> knetworkmanager | 11:01 |
| m4n | i just installed that.. let me check it out | 11:01 |
| pat5star | m4n: important tip with knetworkmanager is to make sure your /etc/network/interfaces file doesn't have any entries other than the lo interface | 11:02 |
| m4n | ah no wonder | 11:02 |
| m4n | its showing manual only for me | 11:02 |
| m4n | let me try removing those entries | 11:02 |
| pat5star | m4n: right, remove any entries in interfaces, then you may need to reboot your machine | 11:03 |

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:40 |

| nick_ | flipstar: dvd or cd ? | 14:13 |
| shadowbox | no you dont have to nick | 14:14 |
| flipstar | nick_: dvd includes live cd and an alternate installter, cd is only live cd or alternate installer | 14:14 |
| shadowbox | the people here can help you with the setup | 14:14 |
| nick_ | flipstar: so better to take dvd or live ? | 14:15 |
| shadowbox | BUT it is a little easier with the 32 bit version, and you really dont benifit with the 64 bit version (truthfully) | 14:15 |
| flipstar | nick_: depends on what you want..if you only want to install just take the alternate cd | 14:15 |
| ubuntu | nosrednaekim: im in live cd right now... how can i tell?... sory im a newby | 14:15 |

| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: u r a freakin life saver!! Thanx so much | 15:41 |

| Al-Maisan | Hello there! | 15:42 |
| Al-Maisan | Just installed kubuntu 8.04 beta | 15:42 |

| Al-Maisan | on a dell d630 | 15:42 |

| sigma_1234 | where is the kontact data files stored? | 15:42 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: thats ok... it was just installed 45 minutes ago.. i can give it another shot | 15:43 |
| Al-Maisan | I am having trouble using the intel-4965 WLAN in my laptop | 15:43 |
| Ashex | sigma_1234: ~/.kde/share/apps/ | 15:43 |
| Ashex | something like that | 15:43 |
| Al-Maisan | with my WPA protected WLAN at home | 15:43 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: so... i take it I shouldnt choose the same user names as on other distros?? | 15:43 |
| Al-Maisan | intel-4965 WLAN with WPA-PSK anybody? | 15:44 |
| flipstar | !wpa | Al-Maisan see this here | 15:44 |
| ubotu | Al-Maisan see this here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 15:44 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: you can.... but they need to have same user ID's.... ubuntu uses "1000" for the first user, and pclinuxos uses "501" apparently, that causes issues | 15:45 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: so, no way of overcoming that? | 15:45 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: hopefully thats what we just did | 15:46 |
| nosrednaekim | but if not, we just change your ID in PCLINUXOS to 1000 | 15:46 |
| vinnie_ | so... if i can fix the boot problem in kubuntu, it should work?? | 15:46 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: yes... not what was that problem exactly? | 15:47 |
| nosrednaekim | *now | 15:47 |
| vinnie_ | ive tried kubuntu before and the same issue. just before getting to the login or desktop my monitor turns black and a red warning pops on the screen saying display out of range... max 1024x768 something wrather and just hangs | 15:49 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: I see, ok, lets chroot in from pclinuxos | 15:49 |
| vinnie_ | ok | 15:49 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: run "mount /dev/hdb7 /mnt" | 15:50 |
| nosrednaekim | then "chroot /mnt | 15:50 |
| nosrednaekim | then "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 15:50 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: do i need to "su" to root first? | 15:50 |
| sigma | for some reason i can never delete the last contact in my Contacts list in Kontact, why is this? Where is the contacts data stored? | 15:52 |
| nosrednaekim | yes | 15:52 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: im ther | 15:52 |
| vinnie_ | there* | 15:52 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: where? | 15:52 |
| LimCore | is there a good way to propose a new package for ubuntu? | 15:53 |
| vinnie_ | root@localhost:/# | 15:53 |
| LimCore | in example, a small tool that will fix security for some people, by warning before starting sshd and so on. or warning about weak passwords in general | 15:53 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: UNIX philosophy is to be as quiet as possible. How would you prevent the tool from issuing the warning when the password wasn't weak? | 15:54 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: I am so sorry.... can i get back with you on this problem some other time?? I have to go feed my son | 15:54 |
| nosrednaekim | LimCore: too late for hardy, but talk to #ubuntu-motu | 15:54 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: ok, run those commands I put in above | 15:55 |
| nosrednaekim | <nosrednaekim> vinnie_: run "mount /dev/hdb7 /mnt" | 15:55 |
| nosrednaekim | [11:50] <nosrednaekim> then "chroot /mnt | 15:55 |
| nosrednaekim | [11:50] <nosrednaekim> then "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 15:55 |
| vinnie_ | i did | 15:55 |
| LimCore | savetheWorld: people can have different philosophy, if I would setup a computer for not educated user, I would like to prevent him from accidental doing some things. Then I would install in example restrict-no-servers that would conflict with installation of openssh-server ; and will depend on restrict-simple-firewall (drops all incomming) | 15:56 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: ok... im in some kinda package configuration screen | 15:57 |
| flipstar | LimCore: why dont you just dont give him any rights (such as installing anything) | 15:57 |
| flipstar | so he can go to the sysadmin if he needs anything | 15:58 |
| LimCore | flipstar: because he may want to install new programs | 15:58 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: the warning should only be issued if it is certain that the problem exists. | 15:58 |
| === ubuntu is now known as ASCE | ||
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: actually, I thought of a better idea sorry....quit that.... | 15:58 |
| nosrednaekim | lets just copy over your PClinuxOS xorg.conf | 15:58 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: so- a weak password warning should only be issued when the password is being set, and in fact PAM allows you to set password requirements, such as length, dictionary entry, required types of chars etc.. | 15:59 |
| LimCore | savetheWorld: task is following: user should not ever start any servers (esp. open to world/lan), but on the other hand he should be able to do stuff like install normal programs, i.e. games, from repos | 15:59 |
| flipstar | LimCore: as soon as they have to right to install they can do anything..install ftp servers or so | 15:59 |
| LimCore | flipstar: yes, or they can get a hammer and smash the PC - the point is to warn before doing some dengerous actions by accident | 16:00 |
| LimCore | savetheWorld: how to enable that? | 16:00 |
| flipstar | i think it was libpam-cracklib | 16:01 |
| savetheWorld | " user should not ever start any servers " the systems today start lots of "servers" which are transparently enabled by the user (mostly at install time) and the user has know idea they are even doing it. We cannot place such a restriction in place today. | 16:01 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: see the documentation on PAM? | 16:01 |
| LimCore | savetheWorld: bvasicly | 16:01 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: I reccomend finding a tutorial or howto | 16:01 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: hello? | 16:01 |
| savetheWorld | LimCore: the man page (iirc) wasnt wonderful... ;-) | 16:01 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: im here | 16:02 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: you quit that application? | 16:02 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: i just closed the terminal | 16:02 |
| nosrednaekim | ok. | 16:02 |
| nosrednaekim | now,open another one, and log into su again | 16:02 |
| LimCore | ubuntu uses own patches to kernel? | 16:02 |
| LimCore | I tried running selfbuilded kernel and it was not very well working... it worked ok in example on my debian box | 16:03 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: im in | 16:03 |
| flipstar | yes the ubuntu kernel is modified from the original | 16:03 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: and run "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 16:03 |
| simi | hi, i am comming from ubuntu, i installed compiz but after a relogin it does not start automaticaly, i can make a script to start it but why it does not start automaticaly? | 16:04 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: its asking me if i want to overwrite | 16:04 |
| nosrednaekim | say yes | 16:04 |
| nosrednaekim | simi: use fusion-icon | 16:05 |
| vinnie_ | is this going to overwrite pclos file | 16:05 |
| nosrednaekim | no | 16:05 |
| vinnie_ | ok | 16:05 |
| nosrednaekim | it will overwrite the ubuntu one | 16:05 |
| simi | in the advanced desktop effects wjen i try to set my keys for the zoom in and zoom out when i type the key combination CTRL+1 is not working, in ubuntu it worked fine | 16:06 |

| flipstar | try ctrl+2 | 16:06 |

| Azzco | How do I check CPU temp? What do I need to install and do I need to mess with the kernel? | 16:07 |
| flipstar | lm-sensors | 16:07 |
| flipstar | Azzco: after that just run sensors from terminal or use gkrellm or so | 16:08 |
| flipstar | no you can leave the kernel as it is | 16:08 |
| Azzco | lm-sensors is allready installed, should I be able to see cpu temp in karamba themes with just that? | 16:08 |
| flipstar | karamba might be need mbmon or so | 16:09 |

| flipstar | luke__: right..fat and fat32 | 16:57 |
| flipstar | for ext2/ext3 you have to install drivers | 16:58 |
| luke__ | if i format it in fat (because the windows is on a different cpu that im not at liberty to configure) will it work without extra drivers? | 16:58 |
| euroxers_ | flipstar: thanks for help | 16:58 |
| luke__ | fat32 is for amd64 and i386 64 archs only, right? | 16:59 |
| nosrednaekim | luke__: no... | 17:00 |
| flipstar | fat can even readed from dos | 17:00 |
| luke__ | i see.... you've been very helpful; and i'm grateful | 17:00 |
| luke__ | i run a amd64 and had alot of hassle last year with the lack of suppport for the processor...but the new distros like gutsy and hardy seem to have bridged the coompatability issues..... | 17:02 |
| nosrednaekim | yep... its much better now | 17:02 |
| luke__ | what do you run nosre? | 17:03 |
| nosrednaekim | amd64 | 17:03 |
| luke__ | have you used the compiz effects like the cube? | 17:04 |
| nosrednaekim | yes..... but I am running kde4 now, so there is no need | 17:04 |
| luke__ | really? i'm runnind kde gutsy and i have to run the command "compiz --replace' to get the 3d effects, and have little quirks pop up in the dm sometimes.... | 17:05 |
| luke__ | does kde4 fully integrate without any meddling? | 17:06 |
| nosrednaekim | not really. | 17:07 |
| nosrednaekim | you need to do the same thing | 17:07 |
| flipstar | wired apt-get autoremove just remove kdesu :O | 17:07 |
| luke__ | does your dm wig out sometmes, like when confifuring your screensavers? | 17:07 |
| nosrednaekim | not really | 17:08 |
| nosrednaekim | flipstar: as long as you stillhave kdesudo, thats ok | 17:08 |
| flipstar | just installed it | 17:08 |
| luke__ | hmmmmm.... methinks i might have conflicts between x and compiz | 17:08 |
| flipstar | luke__: might be an question of the graphic card .. | 17:08 |
| luke__ | true....its not a great one...nvidia 6500 | 17:09 |
| nosrednaekim | thats good enough | 17:09 |
| flipstar | 6600 here | 17:09 |
| luke__ | but it borrows system memory and leaves me with 1.3 gigs ram | 17:09 |
| luke__ | for high end games, i need a bit more | 17:10 |
| luke__ | flipstar what enviornment you use? kde, gnome? | 17:11 |
| flipstar | kde of corse :P:P:D | 17:11 |
| luke__ | wait were all on kde arent we? | 17:11 |
| flipstar | yep | 17:11 |
| luke__ | duh | 17:11 |
| nosrednaekim | should be | 17:11 |
| luke__ | i like gnome too | 17:11 |
| * nosrednaekim goes on witch-hunt | 17:11 | |
| NickPresta | Gnome is evil ;) | 17:12 |
| luke__ | the way the configs are set up in gnome makes more sense to me | 17:12 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | gnome is just a choice | 17:12 |
| luke__ | but i digress because kde rocks | 17:12 |
| flipstar | its totally confusing..i searched an hour or so to find one simple thing :/ | 17:13 |
| luke__ | i know, but the administrator options are setup nice if you get used to it | 17:13 |
| diop | salut | 17:13 |

| NickPresta | hi, diop | 17:14 |
| luke__ | greetings | 17:14 |
| diop | hi nick | 17:14 |
| luke__ | anyone have the story behind beryl and the new compiz effects? they seem to be the same stuff, but i cant get the beryl repos. like i had it last year, where it would work with emerald | 17:15 |
| flipstar | they just merged | 17:16 |
| NickPresta | luke__, beryl is now compiz-fusion. They merged back together | 17:16 |
| luke__ | i see | 17:16 |
| flipstar | beryl+compiz=compiz-fusion | 17:16 |
| luke__ | i really liked the beryl setup | 17:16 |
| NickPresta | beryl is no longer in development (although you're free to use it if you really want to). Compiz-fusion and fusion-icon should satisfy your needs. It is almost identical to beryl | 17:17 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: guess i should have figured out what to do before i left...lol | 17:17 |
| luke__ | but compiz has that awesome paper airplane.... | 17:17 |
| luke__ | lol | 17:17 |
| luke__ | anybody try virtualbox yet? | 17:18 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: hehe | 17:18 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie_: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 17:18 |
| nosrednaekim | then run "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" | 17:19 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: what then? | 17:19 |
| luke__ | i use it(virtualbox) to run yahoo messenger and veohtv, but the graphical abilities are limited | 17:19 |
| nosrednaekim | that should give you a login scree, | 17:19 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: ok | 17:22 |
| vinnie_ | nosrednaekim: will that get me to a desktop? | 17:23 |
| kkerwin | Hi. I upgraded to 8.04, only to find that it broke my wireless network. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to figure out what went wrong. I was wondering if there was an easy way to downgrade back to Gutsy? | 17:23 |
| feistel | flipstar, I read the page and run update-manager | 17:26 |
| flipstar | cool | 17:26 |
| feistel | but say: Cannot install all available updates | 17:26 |
| feistel | Some updates require the removal of further software. | 17:27 |
| feistel | run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal to update your system completely. | 17:27 |
| feistel | and show 3 packages: gtk2-engines-gtk-qt kdebluetooth wpasupplicant | 17:27 |
| nosrednaekim | 1hardy | kkerwin | 17:27 |
| nosrednaekim | !hardy | kkerwin | 17:28 |

| kkerwin | nosrednaekim: Thank you. | 17:28 |
| flipstar | feistel: did you run that ? | 17:28 |
| feistel | flipstar, then I run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", and say: | 17:28 |
| feistel | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. | 17:28 |
| feistel | I have my box up-to-date | 17:29 |
| flipstar | you might try to remove these packages manually and then run update-manager again | 17:29 |
| feistel | yes, I try but: kubuntu-desktop depends on kdebluetooth. :-( | 17:29 |
| feistel | ubuntu-minimal depends on wpasupplicant. | 17:29 |
| feistel | I can't remove that packages | 17:30 |
| feistel | because are basic pckages | 17:30 |
| flipstar | kubuntu-desktop is only an metapackage..you can reinstall after the upgrade is complete | 17:30 |
| feistel | flipstar, but wpasupplicant depends on ubuntu-minimal ! | 17:31 |
| feistel | flipstar, you say : "dpkg -r kubuntu-desktop" ??? | 17:31 |
| feistel | I need my desktop :-) | 17:32 |
| flipstar | its the same..but usally you shouldnt do so while updgrading.. | 17:32 |
| flipstar | feistel: so update-manager just stopped with that message ? | 17:32 |
| feistel | yes | 17:32 |
| feistel | and show the window "Software Updates" | 17:32 |
| feistel | empty | 17:33 |
| feistel | with "INSTALL UPDATE" button disabled | 17:33 |
| feistel | without Changes | 17:33 |
| flipstar | hm..nothing more on the site..? | 17:33 |
| feistel | flipstar, yes : Upgrading using apt-get -- NOT RECOMMENDED | 17:34 |
| flipstar | hm you could remove kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-minimal for upgrading..but these file are usally helpful with upgrading.. | 17:35 |
| flipstar | i would wait until i get a better tip :) | 17:35 |
| feistel | yes | 17:35 |
| feistel | ok, :-( | 17:35 |
| feistel | flipstar, I am upgradding to 6.10 "Edgy Eft" from Ubuntu 6.06 ("Dapper Drake") | 17:36 |

| flipstar | mado: since they keep usally tools to restore..you should keep them | 17:53 |
| jckffyi | I have a laptop with windows xp installed, I am trying to set it up to dual boot with kubuntu, the issue is when the installer gets to the point about partitioning disks, is says that the hard disk is blank, I know that the drive is not blank since xp boots, Ive googled the laptop and the problem, but no luck at all, any one have any ideas? | 17:53 |
| mado | so ... all i can delete is "sda2" ? | 17:53 |
| flipstar | mada what is sda4 ? | 17:54 |
| mado | qtparted tells me that "sda4" was "DellRestore" | 17:54 |
| flipstar | okay then you should keep sda4 and sda1 | 17:55 |
| mado | and "sda5" is "DellMD3Play" ... | 17:55 |
| mado | why keep "sda1" ? | 17:55 |
| flipstar | it says dell utilies.. | 17:55 |

| dennister | manuel__: probably it's a kde4 thing | 20:29 |

| manuel__ | I'm confused | 20:30 |
| luka | hello | 20:30 |
| dennister | manuel__: check which packages are available in the new distribution...betcha any $ iot has to do with kde | 20:30 |
| sercik | i have installed manually nvidia-glx-new | 20:31 |
| dennister | sercik: r u sure that's the right one for ur card? check with the howto | 20:31 |
| sercik | yes is newer | 20:32 |
| sercik | geforce 8600 | 20:32 |
| manuel__ | dennister: The distribution upgrader program failed, it says there was another packaging program open, which I can't see. How can I open the distribution upgrade tool again? | 20:33 |
| dennister | sercik: like i said, follow the howto...if you've already manually installed the nvidia-glx-new, and that's the right one for ur card, you shouldn't need to be asking how to install the nvidia driver...u may have already done that | 20:34 |
| dennister | manuel__: hmmm...another packaging program open that you can't see? | 20:35 |
| dennister | i'd restartx with ctrl-alt-backspace if i were you, to close any remianing apps and processes u can't see | 20:35 |
| manuel__ | dennister: Adept won't open because it says there is something else open, I guess another packaging program, but I can't see any. | 20:36 |
| dennister | any networking gurus in here? | 20:36 |
| dennister | manuel__: that's why i suggested ctrl-alt-backspace to restartx | 20:37 |

| Knightlust | bnex10: heh, don't use qtparted... it killed my (3) 1GB flash disks | 23:32 |
| bnex10 | thx | 23:33 |
| bnex10 | Knightlust: what about gparted? | 23:33 |
| Knightlust | gparted's nice, it's actually better than qtparted | 23:33 |
| bfrog | hows the new kubuntu? | 23:33 |
| bnex10 | i still have feisty | 23:33 |
| nosrednaekim | duke_: what do you have to change it to? | 23:34 |
| duke_ | I need to remove the .bak entension | 23:34 |

| duke_ | there was an error during the update and i found out in the forums that the file was renamed after the error and it prevents Kubuntu from booting since the file needed has been renameed | 23:36 |
| Apple_Cat | just rename it with sudo, duke,sudo mv intitrd........-generic.bak initrd............generic | 23:36 |
| bnex10 | huh | 23:36 |
| drbobb | hi, how does the hardy beta do wrt broadcom wireless? | 23:36 |
| dthacker | drbobb: hardy discussions are in #ubuntu+1 | 23:37 |
| SlimeyPete | to rename a file, use "mv oldfilename newfilename" e.g. "mv file1.txt file2.txt". If you don't have permission to move the file you may need to use sudo e.g. "sudo mv file1.txt file2.txt" | 23:37 |
| drbobb | ie. will i spend most of a day struggling to regain connectivity if i update?;) | 23:37 |
| drbobb | dthacker: ok thx | 23:37 |

| === _Angelus is now known as _Angelus_ | ||
| bnex10 | why not put hardy stuff in #ubutnu-hardy instead? | 23:37 |
| bnex10 | just pointing that out | 23:38 |
| duke_ | i'll try that SmileyPete | 23:38 |
| dthacker | bnex10: because there is always a +1..... | 23:38 |
| bnex10 | ok | 23:38 |
| === marmaduke_ is now known as marmadukenukem | ||
| duke_ | its says 'file' is not a directory.... | 23:42 |
| duke_ | sorry i'm nnooob | 23:42 |
| SlimeyPete | duke_: what exactly are you typing? | 23:43 |
| === _max is now known as _max_ | ||
| duke_ | sudo mv /root/boot/ initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak /root/boot/ initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic | 23:43 |
| SlimeyPete | you've too many spaces in there, I'd guess | 23:44 |
| SlimeyPete | surely it's /root/boot/initrd... each time | 23:44 |
| SlimeyPete | though.... it's probably meant to be /boot | 23:44 |
| bnex10 | yep | 23:44 |
| SlimeyPete | because the initrd files are in /boot, not /root/boot | 23:45 |
| SlimeyPete | "/" is known as the "root directory", which may have confused you | 23:45 |
| duke_ | ok | 23:45 |
| SlimeyPete | so in summary I reckon you want: sudo mv /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic | 23:45 |
| duke_ | wow it worked | 23:46 |
| duke_ | thanks a lot | 23:46 |
| SlimeyPete | no problem :) | 23:47 |
| * bnex10 is now removing a ton of gnome crap | 23:47 | |
| duke_ | I'll reboot to see if it solved my problem | 23:47 |
